The view was in an unearthly way beautiful, but it was also unendurable. It implied too much

About This Quote

This quote from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey relates to that feeling of being unable to deal with a view that is too beautiful. The vantage point of the monolith was too high above them for them to be able to do anything about it. The view was in an unearthly way beautiful, but it was also unendurable. It implied too much, because it made their situation clear. In other words, they couldn’t do anything about it.
